[wellylug] Aims or Objectives

[Sam Cannell]

Sorry, I was exaggerating somewhat. :)

I guess I have two points here.  First off, I feel the wording leaves
far too much up the interpretation of the reader.  

Secondly, as I noted in my previous post, I don't know that "encouraging
the use of Linux and Open Source Software" is the role of a Linux
usergroup.

As I wrote in one of my messages to the list last week, if the group as
a whole wants to take the Open Source Advocacy path, then that's cool
with me - it's just not a group I'd be interested in participating in.

I wouldn't join a vegetarian cooking mailing list to talk about
electronic appliance maintenance, and I didn't join a linux user group
to convert the propietary software infidels to Linux.

Hi Sam,

Isn't the jump from 'encourage the use of' to 'street corners preaching
the GNU bible' a large one?
